Am a 32 year old woman, since a year or two ago, each time I wake up I feel like I've been under general anesthesia. I feel very sick, cold and clammy. Is this a normal part of ageing?

No. Start learning about the gut microbiome. https://humanmicrobiome.info/

Weight loss drugs like Mounjaro and Wegovy ‘linked to hair loss’, researchers say

rather than engaging with the actual points I raised.

Yet more nonsense. I directly debunked them numerous times.

a concept you seem determined to reject in favour of an ‘all or nothing’ approach where genetics play zero role

More false statements.

Finally, you’re repeatedly citing humanmicrobiome.info as an authoritative counter-argument, but you conveniently omitted that you are the creator and maintainer of that website. It’s a self-published wiki run by a self-described ‘layperson’. Curating studies that support your worldview on your own personal website does not equate to a medical consensus, nor does it give you the authority to dismiss established science while insulting people who point out the nuance.

Irrelevant, false, and deceptive. The site lists systematic reviews, which are the top tier of evidence. You've presented nothing that refutes my citations.

I won’t engage in a bad-faith debate where you misrepresent my words

Intense projection.

but you’re fundamentally misinterpreting what that research actually proves

You're fundamentally misinterpreting what I'm saying.

When FMT transferred obesity in those clinical studies, it didn’t mean the subjects started generating body mass out of thin air
the microbiome can influence how efficiently you process calories, and it can make you feel hungrier. But it absolutely does not rewrite the first law of thermodynamics: energy cannot be created or destroyed

I never made such a claim. Why are you suggesting I did? There's something wrong with your reading comprehension.

The microbiome is a modifier, it might mean someone has to work slightly harder to maintain a deficit because their gut extracts an extra 50 calories from a meal, or because their satiety signals are skewed. But using the microbiome to claim obesity “isn’t genetics” whilst simultaneously ignoring the reality of lifestyle choices, caloric intake, and personal accountability is a massive leap that the science simply does not support.
Please be better and stop trying to mislead people.

Up until this, I was thinking you were a bot. Now I just think there's something wrong with you. You're the one spreading misinformation.

You made the claim:

your genetics ultimately dictate how your body stores fat and the actual shape of your abdominal muscles. If your genetics don’t favour it, it takes a significantly harder environmental effort (strict diet and training) to overcome that hurdle and get them to display

I proved that wrong. Then you replied with a bunch of irrelevant and erroneous gibberish.

Think of it like getting visible abs. You can do all the core exercises and drop your body fat, but your genetics ultimately dictate how your body stores fat and the actual shape of your abdominal muscles. If your genetics don’t favour it, it takes a significantly harder environmental effort (strict diet and training) to overcome that hurdle and get them to display.

Again, it's not genetics. The gut microbiome is heritable, and FMT can transfer obesity: https://humanmicrobiome.info/obesity/

Probably a 1". I don't recall seeing a 4". I just checked Target.com, and they only have 1" filters in stores. Where did you get the 4"?

I tried that single-filter design in the past, and it seemed to do a poor job of filtering the air, and it stressed out the fan motor a lot.

I tried the single-filter design some years ago, and it worked pretty poorly. It didn't seem to do a good job of cleaning the air, and it stressed out the motor a lot. I'd consider this 4-filter design for the future.

Given that hair loss is genetic

It's annoying to see people so confident that "X is genetic". Where do you get your confidence from to make such a statement?

50501 sub on reddit is compromised

MaximilianKohler @lemmy.world 2w ago

Most subs on reddit are compromised. As is the platform itself. People still using reddit are wilfully ignorant and/or lacking integrity and intelligence.

I was just thinking about creating a spreadsheet with people's contact info, notes, and a picture. I guess an app would be preferable, especially if there were a web/desktop version, and it was compatible with a spreadsheet (can export from/to a spreadsheet).

Reddit is the most evil platform

The video is a decent overview of some of the more well-known issues with reddit, but reddit is so much worse than what this video covers. https://maximiliankohler.blogspot.com/2023/06/reddit-is-dangerous-humanity-needs-an-alternative.html

Yes, something similar happened to me: https://maximiliankohler.blogspot.com/2023/06/reddit-is-dangerous-humanity-needs-an-alternative.html

Reddit is an atrocious website with so many disturbing problems, and it keeps getting worse and worse.

what are platforms you sciency people use to communicate?

Jump

MaximilianKohler @lemmy.world 5mo ago

That's overkill for my needs.

Forums were the main thing everyone used 10+ years ago. Then Facebook & Reddit started to steal people away. But now that those big companies have shown how dangerous they are, I've tried to go back to forums as much as possible.

I use Lemmy too, but the lemmy software is still early in development compared to forum software. So I started up a forum instead of a Lemmy instance: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/

‘Hidden’ bugs in our gut appear key to good health, finds global study

MaximilianKohler @lemmy.world 5mo ago

I’ve been trying various things from yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi and supplements and I haven’t really had success. I must be doing something wrong or too much or not enough idk.

Yes, you're doing something wrong. Wherever you're getting your health/microbiome advice from is a poor source. You can find better info here: https://humanmicrobiome.info/faq/

Fermented foods contain non-host-native microbes. Their benefits are hugely oversold. They will not restore your gut microbiome.

What are the best platforms to get important discussions?

Jump

MaximilianKohler @lemmy.world 6mo ago

If health is a topic you're interested in, I created a forum that matches your description: https://forum.humanmicrobiome.info/

Hopefully, it won't be too long before Xenforo forums can federate with Lemmy.

I've tried going to back to forums after leaving Reddit, but many of them are filled with the same type of unintelligent people you find on Reddit and other social media.

That said, I'd still stick with forums & lemmy over Reddit.

I think Lemmy was being astroturfed during the recent reddit API controversy and exodus of some redditors to lemmy. Lemmy seems much more normal now, whereas reddit is still manipulated, astroturfed, and botted to hell.

No. Lemmy > Tildes.

Tildes should be avoided as much as reddit: https://maximiliankohler.blogspot.com/2023/06/reddit-is-dangerous-humanity-needs-an-alternative.html

Tildes: I'm not a fan of the UI/whitespace, but the invite-only nature of it keeps it high-quality. It's another nice & unique option, but has the same "single owner" issue, as Saidit, Reddit, etc., so it would be risky to dedicate time and effort to building a community there. In the blink of an eye your years of work could be terminated by one person. I've also read multiple concerns/complaints about heavy-handed moderation, similar to what occurs on Reddit.
Tildes update:
I made a Tildes account many years ago when it first started up. I knew the founder was a Reddit admin, and I'd heard that it was a haven for Reddit admins & power-mods, but I hadn't spent much time there.
I recently made a post about the problems with Reddit, and while there were intelligent people and comments on there, the majority of votes went to people who were being extremely dishonest, and even outright lying; attacking me in every way possible while urging the admin to ban me. Neutral people don't behave like that. So they couldn't have made it more obvious that Tildes is merely an extension of authority-figures-of-Reddit with a different UI. All the same problematic people & behaviors exist there.
Based on the accusations one of them was making, and my history they were pulling up, one of them was either a Reddit admin or someone in cahoots with one of the Reddit admins that banned me. Tildes is invite-only, and the main accounts attacking me were brand new.
The Tildes admin removed my comments debunking the lies they were telling, and deleted my account.
My experience with Reddit has made me extremely hesitant to put in any amount of effort or commitment into any platform I don't own/control myself, and this recent experience with Tildes greatly confirms that concern.
